Continuing professional development (CPD)

Continuing professional development (CPD) refers to the process of tracking and documenting the skills, knowledge and experience that you gain both formally and informally as you work.

The College runs a CPD portfolio where members can record their CPD and produces resources that help our members to keep up to date within their field.
